    U need special holder for 30 degree blades????

     

    Olfa makes a handle for it . Not using it is asking for  unexpected shrapnel when the blade snaps . It does say on EVERY package to wear eye protection.

     

    As mom used to say  " If you poke your eye out don't come looking for me"

  2. Gonna go out on a limb and say he uses them:

    For what: for cutting film

    And why....Cuz they be really sharp.

    Pointy end gets in farther than an olfa style blade.

    They also come in handy when removing stitches form previous misuse of sharp stuff.

     

    Try this version of the olfa. Its a 30° blade . You cannot see in the photo but the knife is pointed like the blade to reinforce while cutting just like the 45° is.

    Olfa calls them Graphic blades. I DO NOT recommend using them in the 45° knife

  3. Looks like things are the same here in Canada Tom . We also have recognized that certain GC's ALWAYS want a price then never give you work." So and So was cheaper" is always the reply.

    Maybe So and So should get their own estimator......

     

     

    As for OP .

     

    Leg work. LOTS of leg work

     

    Get into the local construction associations and find out who the local GC's are. As Tom said . Make appointments to get on their bidders list.

    When you get an opportunity to quote and win jobs bust @$$ to make yourself known as the guy that gets things done on time or better  ahead of schedule.

    If you Eff up something . Own up immediately and rectify it at a loss if you have to . Earn the GC's trust .
